Yandex Taxi rides during mass evacuations became free as of March 27. The company itself will return the funds and the drivers will keep their profits. RBC writes about this with reference to a representative of the service.

The service will determine such zones and evacuation times in cooperation with city authorities and then refund the ticket price to all those who left the “dangerous zone” by taxi.
The money will be transferred within three days to the cards with which the trip was paid, or through a promotional code if you paid in cash.
By “mass evacuation” the company will understand situations in which people decide to leave and take their families away from a “dangerous area”; This does not necessarily have to be associated with an announcement from the authorities.
Previously, the service announced that it would improve working conditions for drivers during peak demand periods. The commission for them will be reduced during hours when there are many times more orders than available cars.
